Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study is a single center prospective randomized control trial comparing the utility of performing capsule endoscopy compared to conservative management with oral iron therapy as the initial course of action in patients with non-severe obscure occult or obscure overt gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. The investigators hypothesize that outcomes in patients with non-severe obscure GI bleeding who receive conservative therapy with oral iron will not differ to those on oral iron who undergo capsule endoscopy.
